Gluten-Free Instant Pot Mac & Cheese

Making gluten-free mac and cheese in the Instant Pot is easy. Let’s talk ingredients. You probably already have them in your kitchen.

First up you need noodles. For this recipe I used Muellers gluten-free elbows. Aldi (I LOVE Aldi) has a brown rice and quinoa organic AND gluten-free rotini that we really like to use as well.

Next, you need cheese. I use a cheddar colby blend, it makes a mild mac and cheese that my kids love. If it was just for me I would use sharp cheddar and maybe a little parmesan. The options are endless when it comes to cheese!

Finally you will need milk. You can use any milk that you prefer. I have used almond milk and evaporated milk. The mac and cheese is the creamiest when I use evaporated milk, but is still yummy with almond milk.

Additionally, you need yellow mustard, butter, salt, and pepper.

How to Make Gluten-Free Instant Pot Mac & Cheese

You will find a printable recipe at the bottom of this page.

Add to your Instant Pot bowl 8 ounces of uncooked gluten-free noodles, 2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard. This recipe doubles well and the cooking time stays the same.

Stir the ingredients together then place the lid on your pot and lock it into place

Set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 4 minutes.

Make sure your valve is closed! So often I start a dish in the pot and later realize I left the darn valve open.

Once the pot beeps telling you time is up turn the pot off and perform a quick pressure release. I like to cover my valve with a dish towel.

Once the pressure is released open the lid. You will find perfectly cooked noodles inside.

Add the 6 ounces of milk and 8 ounces of cheese then stir it all together.

There you go! You now have ooey-gooey delicious gluten-free Instant Pot mac & cheese.
